DESCRIPTION
DI-8B modules are an optimal solution
for monitoring real-world process signals
and providing high level signals to a data
acquisition system. Each DI-8B45 module
isolates and conditions a frequency input
signal and provides an analog voltage
output.
The frequency input signal can be either
a TTL level or zero crossing with as little
as ±100mV amplitude. Input circuitry for
each signal type has built-in hysteresis to
prevent spurious noise from corrupting the
module output. TTL signals are applied to
the + and - terminals while zero crossing
signals are applied to the +EXC and - ter-
minals. Reference the block diagram (p 2).
A 5V excitation is available for use with
magnetic pick-up or contact closure type
sensors. The excitation is available on the -
EXC terminal with return on the - terminal.
A special input circuit on the DI-8B45
modules provides protection against ac-
cidental connection of power-line voltages
up to 240VAC. Clamp circuits on the I/O
and power terminals protect against harm-
ful transients.
Isolation is provided by optical coupling
to suppress transmission of common mode
spikes or surges. The module is powered
from +5VDC, ±5%.
The modules are designed for installation
in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations
and have a high level of immunity to envi-
ronmental noise.
